Commentary:

Cyndi Glass: This is probably my least favorite episode of the first four seasons. Hanson’s nosebleed is never explained - did he get in a fight with one of the basketball players? If so, it was cut and never even referred to. This is the only episode which bored me. I don’t watch 21JS to see Kareem Abdul Jabbar or other guest stars.
